Jacob making Duncan laugh with his advent items was the perfect ending to another awesome vlog. I'm sure putting out these videos every. single. day is no small feat. Just know, we look forward to them and they're appreciated very much. Thank you!! 💚
Literally this is the only channel that I’ve watched vlogmas everyday. Every other channel I watched like three and got bored. But not the Ballinger family they have you coming back everyday to see their cute little faces.
Your kids remind me of my siblings and I when we were younger- obsessed with Harry Potter, LEGO, and books. It’s so nice to see a family on TH-cam where the kids aren’t growing up too fast and genuinely enjoy hanging out with each other and family! You guys are truly raising a great bunch of tiny people ❤️
"Who the villain?" I hope everyone is feeling better! Also I love the "Strawberry; wild strawberry" that Duncan guesses every time and how he wants to show the jam in a specific way :) so cute
I got married on Oct 20th, 2019 to my very best friend. On Dec 9th, he went to be with the Lord. This has been a devastating time to say the least and yalls videos have been a great positive distraction. They always are. Thank you.
I hope you guys never stop making videos. I can’t WAIT to continue watching you all (not just the kids!) grow and journey through life, as I get older myself. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
My grandparents had a lemon tree when I was growing up and the fresh lemon was so wonderful for lemonade in the summers and cooking year round so I definitely suggest that for your yard! Fresh citrus in general is the best.
My favorite quotes/parts from the video Love Chris’ optimism: “It’s gonna be a fun challenge.” “That’s a dinosaur. Don’t let the dinosaur eat my hand.”-Duncan When Chris found some non-US currency in Parker’s wallet
The Christmas garland Parker made was beautiful! Especially for his age he is a very creative fellow. Thanks for raising amazing children to make the world a better place!
Favorite quote from the video: "Are you TRYING to break his toys?" Just the inflection on "trying" was perfect and it was even better the second time when I had to go back to get the exact right quote! I've said this before and I'll say it again, I want to be a Ballinger!
I love your family. I can see how much you all love one another and your kids. That's so sweet. I wish I knew what it was like to have a mother's love.
Jessica I'm so glad to see you are able to nurse Luke in all the vlogs. It broke my heart for you after he was born an wouldn't latch. Nothing like a super hero mom soothing her baby! I love your family! ❤️
Cherry trees are so perfect to have in your garden! My grandparents have two red and one yellow cherry trees and it’s the best things ever! You just need to protect it from the birds eating the fruit once it’s on the tree.
You are all so fun and I love to listen to you listening and HEARING the kids and their thoughts---there is no wrong answer,. You are doing a wonderful job of raising your children to be clear thinking, kind and productive adults.
I'm 27 and forever here for that intro! So adorable and fun. I love this family so much and value all I've learned from them. You're all so awesome and inspire me daily🌻
I've had braces twice and every time there's a clip of Jacob getting new wires and bands, I can feel that same feeling even though it's been over ten years. You're a trooper, Jacob!
I love how sweet Jacob is with Duncan. They have such a close sweet bond. I don’t know if it’s because they look so close to each other. And Bailey and Luke seem super close too. And Parker bounces between them.
When I was little we had a cherry and a plum tree in our garden.... I loved it every autumn! But the cherries we had to protect against the birds, or we wouldn't get any ourselves.... 😄
How is everyone so sweet in this family?! Its giving me a cavity. I'm surprised theres no fighting between the kids. What kids are so well behaved and dont even squabble with each other?!
We had an apple tree in our yard when I was younger and loved it! They were smaller green apples that kept for a while before spoiling and made for great healthy snacks.
For the trees, you should definitely get a mulberry tree! I have one at the corner of my house on the side of the road, and everyone from the whole neighborhood comes and takes some during their season. They’re wonderful berries, and make great pies, and jam, but they’re best by themselves. It was always my favorite part of the year when the berries started growing!
My grandad had a wonderful garden filled with fruit and veggies. He had orange trees, avocado trees, lemon and lime trees! He always makes the best fresh orange juice when we got home from school!
Seeing Jake in the orthodontist chair made me remember things I haven’t thought about in years. I vividly remember how it felt to get bands/wires changed. Looking good Jacob!
I have a cherry tree in my yard and every Summer we make cherry cobbler as a family with our home grown cherries. They are so fun to pick and cook together
Watching Jacob's bands be changed brings back memories of when I had braces, I always LOVED picking new colors for the bands it was my favorite part of braces. That whole thing about Bailey and Jacob saying "I did all my shopping online" cracks me up, just because of the thought about how things have changed. XD
Who the villain!! These vlogs are seriously the highlight of my day and my advent calendar every year!! You guys spread so much joy and love!! Getting to watch your kids grow up has been a magical journey to watch even though I’m half the world away on an island in the arctic circle! I hope you guys know how positively you impact all of us!! You make the dark days brighter, the days of sorrow filled with laughter and the days filled with stress a little lighter! I cannot thank you guys enough! I appreciate you guys so deeply!! Thank you❤️ Also playing Kahoot today was sooo much fun😃👏🏽
"Who the villain!" I loved zooming with you on the stream, Jessica! Being able to catch you guys on the weekend is great. Can't wait to watch the vlog!

Very cool, Kristin!
Literally this is the only channel that I’ve watched vlogmas everyday. Every other channel I watched like three and got bored. But not the Ballinger family they have you coming back everyday to see their cute little faces.
I loved watching Jacob make Duncan belly laugh. They have a special bond, I can tell.
Your kids remind me of my siblings and I when we were younger- obsessed with Harry Potter, LEGO, and books. It’s so nice to see a family on TH-cam where the kids aren’t growing up too fast and genuinely enjoy hanging out with each other and family! You guys are truly raising a great bunch of tiny people ❤️
I think you should plant strawberries and then call them “strawberry, wild strawberry” just as Duncan says🤩🥰
Baby Jacob why do you have to celebrate Christmas 1 2 3 4 5 I hope you enjoy your Christmas happy Christmas bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
“Don’t eat the dinosaur, eat my finger or my hand” - this kid I cannot!! He is so cute, my heart explodes!!
HeidiHammer you were the winner! Congrats!
Daliah Fredlund I was, thank you!!😊
Duncan’s laugh makes me smile, it’s nice seeing Jake be such an amazing big brother 😃
Watching Jacob get his braces tightened brought back traumatic memories of when I had braces
I can remember the pain, too.
Same!
sameeeee! i could feel everything
The moment the orthodentist stretched the rubber tho. Feel the pain
Katie Kahn I was going to say the same thing. Especially when they replaced the his wires.
Duncan’s Goofy impersonation is spot on!
Trees - apricot, lemon, cherry, peach, pomegranate, apple
"Who the villain?"
I hope everyone is feeling better!
Also I love the "Strawberry; wild strawberry" that Duncan guesses every time and how he wants to show the jam in a specific way :) so cute
Who the villain??
And Duncan didn’t get an empty box today yay!!!!!!!
I got married on Oct 20th, 2019 to my very best friend. On Dec 9th, he went to be with the Lord. This has been a devastating time to say the least and yalls videos have been a great positive distraction. They always are. Thank you.
Duncan's laugh though at the end so precious! Seeing them both laugh together makes me really happy too. 😄
Bailey: “What do green and red make?”
Jessica: “...delicious”
"There's Elsa" - Duncan just after we did the Frozen Kahoot!!
I do kahoot where I live too
Me tooo
Chris: let’s guess what’s gonna be in Bailey’s advent calendar
no one:
Duncan: DOBBY!!
Duncan saying Good Morning is the cutest thing ever love him
7:29, Jacob wipes his nose on the back of Duncan’s shirt!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Such a boy/brother thing! I thought only my kids would do that!🤣🤣🤣❤️
Christopher is literally the best dad!
Duncan’s laugh warms my heart ❤️
“Who, the villain?” This family is too pure for my heart!
I hope you guys never stop making videos. I can’t WAIT to continue watching you all (not just the kids!) grow and journey through life, as I get older myself. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

Jacob making Duncan laugh warmed my heart SO MUCH! So pure. Love this family!!

Duncan looks so cute in his wizard hat and his laugh is the most precious thing ever
Omg!! Duncan's laugh with Jacob starting knocking things down is the cutest laugh ever.
Duncan's giggle at Jacob's sillies is the best of all the things!
I can't even with Duncan... His little voice melts my mama heart! I miss when my daughter was that small. ❤️
Favorite quote from the video: "Are you TRYING to break his toys?" Just the inflection on "trying" was perfect and it was even better the second time when I had to go back to get the exact right quote! I've said this before and I'll say it again, I want to be a Ballinger!
I love your family. I can see how much you all love one another and your kids. That's so sweet. I wish I knew what it was like to have a mother's love.

Jessica I'm so glad to see you are able to nurse Luke in all the vlogs. It broke my heart for you after he was born an wouldn't latch. Nothing like a super hero mom soothing her baby! I love your family! ❤️
The best present would be Jessica's laugh recorded on your phone that you could play when ever you need to feel happy.
“Who the Villain.”
Just want to let u guys know that
Chris and Jessica are Super Parents.
That’s all :)
The fact that Jacob is so willing to take his special present moment and share it with Duncan, with the purpose to make him laugh, is the sweetest!
Duncan’s laugh is one of the purest things
I winced watching Jacob getting the chain on his braces; I can still remember how painful that was!
Duncan’s laugh made me so happy! He’s the cutest little human ♥️
The freakin eyebrow waggle that Jacob does always makes me laugh so hard. He reminds me of one of my baby cousins.
going from Duncan's face to baby Parker's giggling face at the end--omg, they look the same!!
“Mayhem. That’s his favorite.”
~Jessica Ballinger 2019
Duncan's Goofy impression is so precious!!!
Cherry trees are so perfect to have in your garden! My grandparents have two red and one yellow cherry trees and it’s the best things ever! You just need to protect it from the birds eating the fruit once it’s on the tree.
Its so cute watching Duncan's personality grow just as we have with all the kids🥰
You are all so fun and I love to listen to you listening and HEARING the kids and their thoughts---there is no wrong answer,. You are doing a wonderful job of raising your children to be clear thinking, kind and productive adults.
I'm 27 and forever here for that intro! So adorable and fun. I love this family so much and value all I've learned from them. You're all so awesome and inspire me daily🌻
Who, the villain?
You guys should get an avocado tree we have one at home and it is the best!
But it takes 3years to sprout fruit
I've had braces twice and every time there's a clip of Jacob getting new wires and bands, I can feel that same feeling even though it's been over ten years. You're a trooper, Jacob!
Jake is getting so handsome and grownup! Look at all your wonderful kids... good job Ballinger parents.
I love watching how excited and patient Duncan is when everybody’s doing their advent calendars 😊 Happy Holidays Ballinger Family 🥳🎅🎄🎁
I love how sweet Jacob is with Duncan. They have such a close sweet bond. I don’t know if it’s because they look so close to each other. And Bailey and Luke seem super close too. And Parker bounces between them.
Parker guessing all the fruits and berries to ever exist, hahahah!! I love him so much!
HeidiHammer and still somehow not getting any of them 😂
Sami Mackay hahahhahaha, yes😂
When I was little we had a cherry and a plum tree in our garden.... I loved it every autumn! But the cherries we had to protect against the birds, or we wouldn't get any ourselves.... 😄
The Ballingers take Christmas very seriously. It’s awesome!

I love bailey’s plaid dress!!
Goes very nicely with her hair!!
Duncan giggling at the end gave me life ❤️ so stinking cute!
Peach trees are always rewarding when you get fruit off them but they take along time to grow
That little Duncan just kills me!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My husband and I have been wondering this entire time why you haven’t been using tortilla chips for the hot sauce test. 😂
Duncan's giggle is EVERYTHING ♥️ Such a beautiful family!! 🎄🦌⛄ Merry Christmas
Strawberry 🍓 Wild Strawberry 🍓🤣😂🤣 Duncan is hilarious 😂
Why do I love Duncan so much!❤️
Duncans laugh at the end, PRECIOUS!
I have a cherry tree in my yard and every Summer we make cherry cobbler as a family with our home grown cherries. They are so fun to pick and cook together
Aww man, I felt that space consolidation! I hope you have lots of ice cream on hand. I remember those days.
Duncan’s curls are adorable. That laugh at the end, too.
Orange and maybe pear trees for your yard? Maybe even bananas.
Toddler giggles are the best.
Jacob looks so much Jessica. Such a sweet kid!
Duncan giggling gave me a much needed smile today
Chris: are those all coins in there
Parker:Shakes his head no 😂❤ love this family

TeapotNinja -Serahni- Thank you!!😊
Duncan's just loving the mayhem of Jacob dropping his Lego pieces 😂😂😂 what a goofball 🤣❤
Duncan is awesome! His giggle is every!!!
I’ve watched all of vlogmas and seem to always watch the children in the intro. Today I watched Chris and his dancing, incredible😂
Who the villain! What a chaotic livestream haha
You guys should definitely plant apple trees :)
PS Jess, Im going to start watching Outlander!
Duncan’s chuckle is the best!
DUNCANS LAUGH AND HIM IN THE MICKEY HAT 😍😍😍😍😍😍
'Just mayhem. That's his favourite.'
-Jessica, regarding Duncan's giggles at the LEGO pandemonium lol
Duncan’s laugh is too stinkin’ precious!
"Who the villain!" I loved zooming with you on the stream, Jessica! Being able to catch you guys on the weekend is great. Can't wait to watch the vlog!
Plum and peaches usually have a good summer yield. Apples take a few years to get them going, but always a fall favorite!
Duncan’s amazement with Jacob is so cute!
I honestly love Jacob sm💞 he is so caring with Duncan and I just love his expressions with his face and just everything
Ballinger Vlogmas is one of my fav parts of the Xmas season now. Thanks Ballingers.
Duncan's laugh makes my heart happy
Tree ideas, I love having peach trees, plum trees. Also not a tree but Grape vines would be great too. We had one for years and it was amazing.
“I can’t believe they did all their shopping online...(I’m) behind the times, I mean I did a lot of online shopping too but I didn’t think they would do it.” -Chris 2019
Duncan’s laugh is so contagious😂
Bailey “what does green and red make”
Jess “delicious”
Me “uhh brown 😂”
lol exactly. :D
Sami Mackay
😂 I just thought a murky brown sauce sounds yucky. But who knows it may be tasty.
Ok. It’s official. Duncan has officially become twins with giggling toddler Parker at the end screen. So cute.
Duncan's laugh is contagious. Jessica where is the grape jelly?
